May 31st....behind a couple days. So today, I found a bird. I named him Blue. He was flapping his wings but couldn't seem to get out of the water. So after making several failed attempts and almost falling into the water myself, I managed to scoop Blue, the pigeon, out of the water. He sat on the front of my canoe just staring at the sun for a couple of miles till I found a sunny shore to drop him off at. I believe he was a homing pigeon. He was wearing a blue tag with the numbers 200.5, 0005. So if anyone knows what to do with that number let me know?
This blog chronicles my canoeing adventure. I am canoeing from western Pennsylvania all the way to New Orleans down the great rivers of America. As part of this journey, I am partnering with the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help raise funds for Parkinson's Disease research.

Fishin
So I was looking for somewhere to drop anchor last night, and I ran into some guys fishin'. Some beers and two catfish later, he decided to give me a fishing pole. He said it was crazy rowing all that way without taking a fishing pole. Thanks Wes.

Delay of trip
Due to continued high river levels, I have decided to postpone my trip by a week, at most two weeks. I will publish my start date in a few days.
